May 4, 2016 Dear Mrs. Shaw’s Class, Ella Jones was born on a very hot August day in Los Angeles, California. She moved to Arizona when she was one and a half years old. She loves to go to new places and explore new things, but at the same time, she likes to have […]

Guest post by Terri Takata-Smith Today a Facebook memory popped up in my newsfeed of my yougest son’s Kindergarten graduation. I can’t believe that was just last year. I mean two years ago…wait…2013…FOUR years ago?! What? How did that happen? Warp speed? < Ugh > Tomorrow is his last day of fourth grade and my […]

Colorado is a beautiful state, and Denver a wonderful city. I may be biased since I grew up there, but there really are so many things to see and do. It is a bustling city that sits amongst the Rocky Mountains, so winter sports enthusiasts already know the beauty of the state. But summertime in […]

Did you know women are 50% of the population? While there are 107 boys born to every 100 girls, boys have a higher death rate, so the ratio of men to women stays about 50%. This, according to the Institut National d’Etudes Demographiques in France. Even though this is the case, women are constantly fighting […]

My friend Brittany gave me How to be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love Style, and Bad Habits by Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret and Sophie Mas for my birthday a couple of years ago. When I finally got around to reading it, I absolutely loved it and wished I read it sooner! Forget […]

The iconic Levi’s 501 jean is back and I’m totally on board! Levi’s has been in business since 1837, so I think they have this jeans thing down. Did you know the 501 started out as an “overall” and wasn’t known as a “jean” until the 1950’s, thanks to teenagers at the time who coined […]

With summer just around the corner, what could be more fun than an ice cream float? How about a Boozy Float? I had my first boozy float at The Whitney House in Worthington, Ohio. This farm to table restaurant offers delicious and seasonal craft cocktails, a rotating menu of delicious and locally sourced food, and […]

Sara and I met through a mutual friend 19 years ago when we both lived in Los Angeles. We liked many of the same things – music, movies, and little known pop culture facts. We also loved to shop for bargains. Sara had a closet like I’d never seen, and a shoe collection you could […]

I wish I could say recently, but it’s been quite a few months now, I spent a week working in NYC. I lived there for two years, a million years ago, and I haven’t been back in 12 years. I was in a New York state of mind. At one point I enthusiastically said to […]

Hi there! You may have noticed my blog has been silent for a few months. Ok, more than a few months. It wasn’t on purpose though. I’ve been on somewhat of an adventure. Kind of like Pee Wee, but not that fun. It all started last August when my web host was purchased by another […]

I’m so glad the 90’s are back in the fashion forefront. But, the hot item this fall is going to be a ribbed mock turtleneck and I’m not sure I can get behind that one again. Floral print, though, I’m all about it. While you’ll no longer catch me in a floral print dress and […]

Did you know there’s such a thing as a yellow watermelon? Me neither, so you can imagine my surprise last week when I cut into my watermelon only to find it looked more like a cantaloupe inside. Mind you, it had almost been sitting on my counter for almost two weeks because I was too […]
